Pull up your shirt and show him your Josh Norris face tattoo. He will understand immediately.

I know that I lean into being a bit of a gimmick on this website, but even I have enough common sense not to do that.

JT miller apparently asking for change. That’s a f***ing prick that I wouldn’t mind having. Pinto+?

Although it looks like miller will go to New York.

But man Miller would definitely
Change things here.

Let Norris go down to the third line.

Ok but the scenario @BigRig4 brought up was him "blowing up" his shoulder, which would end his career. There's no coming back from blowing up a shoulder that's been surgically repaired 3 times in the last 5 years.

I see what you’re saying. I wasn’t very clear in what I said - I should have used more precise language. What I meant was if he gets a season ending injury, it will be impossible to move him at any point in the future. I realize now “blowing up” was vague.

Where are you seeing that JT Miller wants out?

heavily implied by both dreger and friedman

Not that he necessarily wants out. It that moving him is a legit optio.

Gotcha

Boots on the ground update.

Alarming news. No indication that we are bringing back the prime minister race.

He has a NMC, so moving him to Ottawa is probably not an option.

Guys seemed somber tonight. I figured it might be due to the trade rumours, but then as I walked through the corridor I saw that the autograph lines were thousands deep and they only gave them one bottle of Dasani. Gaudette was chipper though.

We have an irresponsible fanbase, tiring out the players in the middle of a losing streak. I'm glad that I decided not to have my Ceci jersey signed, but it was awkward to go through a big line only to nod at each player with nothing to give them.

I'm getting too many people coming up to me when I am at games now, so I am going to have to go incognito now and wear a Phaneuf jersey or something.

I think the team will opt to trade him before the NMC kicks in to maximize the return if it looks like we aren't going to be able to turn the ship around. If we're looking like we're back on track, I don't see him demanding a trade.

Yeah, like they looked like they were back on track after JM came in last year. Fool me once......

 

[LiseL]

Moving Norris opens a hole at 2C. Are you filling it with Pinto who is significantly underperforming the guy people have #1 on the trade block? Or what's the plan?

And is very effective in the F/O dot and PK. Who'a going to fill those roles and make up his production 5v5?

Good riddance!

It would certainly appear as if JT Miller is looking to get out of Vancouver. (There is something strangely toxic about that city and its fanbase.) If that's the case, and he is willing to stay in Canada, I would absolutely love to be in on that one. I would send them Norris plus a sweetener for him in a heartbeat. There's a guy who can play AND would shake up the composition of the dressing room - Miller is a fiery dude who plays to win every night...

That feels like a Duchene v2.0 move. Might just shatter the room completely.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

He has a NMC. I highly doubt he would want to come to Ottawa. I could see something like Miller for Kreider, but Kreider as a base probably has Vancouver on his list.

Maybe something like Miller, and Hoglander for Kreider, Kakko as a base, and then NYR send VAN picks and prospects to compensate for the downgrade.

Unless they want futures, in which case the return is probably something really polite like a late 1st, a team's fourth best prospect, and maybe a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Players with NMCs, even great ones, rarely get big returns unless they really play ball.

So you're good with this? Just keep running out the same core group? Hope that "something" changes and they go on a streak? Just curious.

 

[UglyPuckling]

Day 1: We won’t get anything/much for Norris.

Day 2: Norris for J.T. Miller.

So many OT games today...hurt us in standings.... buffalo blew a 4 goal lead which was nice

The Ottawa Senators can only blame The Ottawa Senators for where they are in the standings.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Time for a 5 game win streak (hopefully not followed up by a 7 game losing streak!!)

A Hamburglar type run is either the best thing or the worst thing that can happen to this team, but I am not qualified to determine which one it is.

Bro do yourself a favour and stop looking at the standings lol

Hamburglar run top 3 things to ever happen to this franchise along with the Kovalev Moon Walk and the Paul Maclean moustache guy
